Cathie Wood says Palantir is the biggest defense tech play out there

Cathie Wood states Palantir is "probably the most important defense tech play" and is shifting focus into defense technology, favoring smaller firms she says have "more leverage" than traditional contractors. Her endorsement is bullish for defense-tech and small-cap defense software names and could nudge individual stocks in the sector roughly 1-3% as investor flows reallocate. This is a thematic investor call rather than company-specific news and signals potential sector reweighting, not a market-wide event.
